T 0 all 10 ham it may concern Be it known that I, JESSIE C. BRADLEY, acitizen of the United States, residing at Oakland, in the county ofAlameda and State of California, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Auxiliary Heating-Plates, of which the following is aspecification.

My invention is a warming device appli cable to stoves for keeping thefoods warm.

Referring to the annexed drawing in which my invention is illustrated,and which forms a part of this specification:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of one form of my warming plate applied tothe under side of the top plate of a gas stove, said plate being shownin section.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the warming plate shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a plan view of another form of my warming plate.

Fig. 4.- is a side view of the warming plate shown in Fig. 3.

Fig. 5 is a side view of another form of my warming plate applied to thetop of the top plate 0 a gas stove, the top plate being shown insection.

Fig. 6 is a plan view of the plate shown in Fig. 5.

The form of my invention shown in Figs. 1,2, 5 and 6 includes a ring 1,a plate 2 and a connecting member 3 which connects said ring and saidplate. The connecting memher 3 has a bend at in it which offsets thering 1 above the plate 2, so that the device may i be placed under thetopplate 5 of a gas stove with the ring 1 resting against the under sideof said top plate around its burner opening 6, and with the connectingmember 2 extending under the depending edge flange 7 of said top plateand the plate 2 outside said flange. The device is detachably secured tothe top plate 5 by a bolt 8,

Whlch extends through said top plate and an aperture 9 in theconnectingmember 3; a nut 10 which screws on the lower end of said boltagainst said connecting member,

and a butterfly nut 11 which screws on the upper end ofsaid bolt againstthe top of said top plate and draws the ring 1 against the under side ofthe top plate and the connecting member 3 against the lower edge of theedge flange 7. The stove burner 12 which is mounted under the burneropening 6 directs its flame through the ring 1 and said opening.

The form of my invention shown in Figs. 3 and 4 includes a grid 15, aplate 16 and a connecting member 17 in which is a bend 18 which offsetsthe plate 16 above the grid 15. The grid 15 rests within the opening 6of the stove top plate 5 upon lugs 19 projecting from the under side ofthe top plate under said opening and the plate 2 rests above the topplate by reason of the bend 18.

The ring 1 of the form of my invention shown in Figs. 5 and 6 rests uponthe stove grid 20 which rests within the opening 6 on the lugs 19, andthe plate 2 rests over the top plate 5.

Food in a receptacle is kept warm when the receptacle is placed oneither of the plates 2 or 16.

Having described my invention, I claim:

1. A warming device including a ring adapted to rest under the top plateof a stove around the burner opening, a plate resting outside thedepending edge flange of said top plate, a connecting member connectingsaid ring and said plate, and means for mounting the device under thetop plate.

2. A warming device including a ring adapted to rest under the top plateof a stove around the burner opening, a plate Testing outside thedepending edge flange of said top plate, a connecting member connectingsaid ring and said plate, a bolt extending through. said connectingmember and said top plate, and a nut screwing on the upper, end of saidbolt against the top plate to hold the device in position under saidtop'plate.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

JESSIE C. BRADLEY.
